Question

-6-y1=4(3-x1

Answer 1

re-write in slope-intercept form show your work.

Answer 2

y=-4(3-x)-6

Answer 3

How did you get that?

Answer 4

I think you equation is incorrect

Answer 5

i can't say \(-6-y_1=4(3-x_1\) makes much sense

Answer 6

agreed

Answer 7

maybe it is supposed to be
\(y-6=4(x-3)\)

Answer 8

Thumbs up
Exactly

Answer 9

or maybe
\[y+6=4(x-3)\] what was the original problem?

Answer 10

Well the first part of this was
Consider the line that passes through the point (3, -6) and has a slope of 4.
Write the equation of this line using point-slope form.

Answer 11

Did you miss write it?

Answer 12

oooh ok

Answer 13

No. Someone gave me that as an answer.

Answer 14

yup you missed placed the variables

Answer 15

they where incorrect no offence

Answer 16

satellite73's equation is how it should look

Answer 17

you are using \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\) but you need to understand that \(x_1\) and \(y_1\) and \(m\) are numbers, and the variables are \(x\) and \(y\)

Answer 18

That's fine. Glad you guys caught it (:

Answer 19

so in your case, \(m=4,x_1=3,y_1=-6\) and you should write
\[y-(-6)=4(x-3)\] or
\[y+6=4(x-3)\]

Answer 20

now the steps are always the same. multiply out using the distributive law on the right
\[y+6=4x-12\] then subtract 6 to get
\[y=4x-18\]

Answer 21

Can you write all the steps down? Its easier for me to understand. please.

Answer 22

i did not skip a single step
i can rewrite it if you like but it is all there

Answer 23

Yes that would be better please.

Answer 24

I meant all as one reply.

Answer 25

Yeah the slope intercept form should be simplified as so
y+6=4(x-3)
y+6=4x-12
subtract 6 from both sides
y=4x-6
There is the answer

Answer 26

general form is
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
make the substitution with the numbers and get
\[y-(-6)=4(x-3)\] or
\[y+6=4(x-3)\] so far so good?

Answer 27

Yeah. I understand now. Their is also a part two and three. With this.

Answer 28

that is a direct substitution in to the point - slope form with the numbers you are given. then
a) multiply out on the right hand side of the equal sign using the distributive law
\[y+6=4x-12\]

Answer 29

b) subtract 6 from both sides to get \(y\) by itself and get
\[y=4x-18\]

Answer 30

Using your equation from part 1, rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form. Make sure to show all of your work

Answer 31

Well I think Satellite73 has got the rest of this.

Answer 32

ok lets go slow

Answer 33

\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] is the "point - slope" form because what you are using is the point \((x_1,y_1)\) and the slope \(m\)

Answer 34

you replace \(m\) by 4, \(x_1\) by 3, and \(y_1\) by \(-6\) and get
\[y-(-6)=4(x-3)\] or \[y+6=4(x-3)\] now the line is in the "point - slope" form

Answer 35

then to put it in the "slope - intercept" form you rewrite it to look like \(y=mx+b\) in other words you solve for \(y\)

Answer 36

What was the first part for then?

Answer 37

the steps to do this never change. multiply out on the right using the distributive law and get
\[y+6=4x-12\]

Answer 38

subtract 6 to get
\[y=4x-18\] and now it is in slope - intercept form

Answer 39

I thought y=4x-6 was in point-slope form?

Answer 40

It is the formula he is showing you is how to get to the point slope form

Answer 41

no for two reasons
one is it is wrong for this problem
two because that is the "slope-intercept" form

Answer 42

I'm so lost.. theirs three parts to this hole thing. and you said for part one it was y=4x-6 and then you got to put it in point slope.

Answer 43

once again
POINT SLOPE is \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

SLOPE INTERCEPT is \(y=mx+b\)

Answer 44

actually i never said that, it is wrong

Answer 45

Can we start over?
I'll re post the hole question.

Answer 46

i think whitedragon said that, and it is incorrect

Answer 47

haha yeah no I didn't

Answer 48

I re-posted it.

Answer 49

repost and i will reply slowly

hmmm
Yeah the slope intercept form should be simplified as so y+6=4(x-3) y+6=4x-12 subtract 6 from both sides y=4x-6 There is the answer

Answer 50

What are closing costs?


A. various fees paid monthly along with rent
B. various fees paid every year as part of taxes
C. various fees paid when a home purchase is finalized

Answer 51

Umm pray your not suppose to ask a question to answer a question

Answer 52

Why?

Answer 53

That's just not how it works, if you need help you ask a question in the "ask a question box" this area is for people to answer the question someone has asked.

Answer 54

I have to because i don't even know anything.
